Synopsis
Throughout recorded history the deaths of noble and heroic persons have inspired poets and musicians to create songs of lamentation. This unique bibliography simplifies access to approximately 2,150 such musical works composed between the late fourteenth century and the year 2000 to memorialize musicians. Arranged alphabetically by the name of the dedicatee, a typical entry includes the name, dates, and professional details of the musician being memorialized; name and dates of the composer; title, subtitle, and quote of the memorial dedication of the musical work; publication data; and additional descriptive notes when warranted to clarify the context of the work's creation. The bibliography is indexed by composer names as well as by birth and death dates of the dedicatees. A useful and unique resource for librarians, teachers, and musicians planning concerts, conferences, or exhibitions honoring musicians.

Review
Ultimately this book has many uses that go beyond its morbid and curious content, and it is indeed good reading...the comprehensive composer index is a convenient reference source...the range of musical genres represented in this volume is refreshing...The tree of information to which this book gives root is all the more remarkable simply because someone has taken available information and rearranged it and therefore recontextualized it, giving simple facts a new and broader meaning. (Notes: Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association)
Fling has managed to get together over 2,000 entries of composers writing musical memorials to other musicians...which is no mean feat. There are entries from the late 14th century to the year 2000, and they cover a very wide spectrum...This compilation will be of use to major music libraries... (Reference Reviews)
